Description

A wide-field I wanted to image for so long and was a real toughie to process!

Horsehead nebula + Orion nebula + faint surrounding clouds.

The 2 brightest stars on the left of the image are Alnitak and Alnilam, the third one is out of the frame and that would be Mintaka to complete the famous Orion belt in this beautiful winter constellation.

With this new revision, I added the Esprit 120ED data to the core of M42, the rest of the gear was exactly the same.
